Fairy Tale

First and foremost this is very different for Stephen King. If you are expecting his classic horror this is not it. I went into the book with a fantasy lovers mindset and forgot who the author was for a moment. Needless to say I loved it! Every time i expected it to finish another twist would pull me back in.

Big scarey death knight are allergic to...water? The villain is HR Puffenstuff? Wtf King?

I used to read King all the time. Couldn't wait to get my hands on anything new by him. Then....I stopped. I hadn't read anything by him in YEARS. So, this intrigued me and I picked it up. I have never wanted to quit a book, especially 400 pages in. I had to force myself to finish it because I'm not a quitter. Complete garbage. I feel he can write anything and slap his name on it and it will sell - this book is the prime example of that. Don't waste your time.

Awesome read Stephen King is the best

I love SK and voraciously read anything he puts out. I loved the first part of this story- but the fairytale part was a bit too rushed, lacking in details and context, and was a bit anticlimactic. I felt cheated, knowing what SK is capable of

There are any twist and turns in this story.

A wonderful trip through a world of the real stories underlying fairy tales. A boy goes to save his dog, and then visits the incredible land of faery. Strangely enough, our old friend Cthulhu appears here, too, and he is about to release a much greater evil if they can't stop him...A mix of the Brothers Grimm and H. P. Lovecraft, bizarre, spooky and highly satisfying.

Really enjoyed this book. I'm a King fan and this is now on the top of my favorite list right under The Shining and The Stand.
